Wikipedia's
Peer review process exposes articles to closer scrutiny from a broader group of editors, and is intended for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing a
featured article candidate. It is not
academic peer review by a group of experts in a particular subject, and articles that undergo this process should not be assumed to have greater authority than any other.
For general editing advice, see
Wikipedia style guidelines,
Wikipedia how-to,
"How to write a great article", and
"The perfect article". Articles that need extensive basic editing should be directed to
Pages needing attention,
Requests for expansion or
Cleanup, and content or neutrality disputes should be listed at
Requests for comment.

The following peer review suggestions were semi-automatically generated by a
javascript code - they may or possibly may not be accurate/applicable for the article in question due to unique differences for each articles. They are provided as a supplement to manual suggestions, and generally focus on
stylistic issues that peer reviewers may miss or not be aware of.
Creation procedure
Generally, the suggestions will be generated
semi-automatically by
User:AZPR, though all users can run the script themselves by following the
instructions for installation.
How to respond to a request
Feel free to strike out issues that have already been taken care of or to respond to problems; questions about issues can be left on this page (which hopefully an editor will notice and respond to) or on the articles
peer review page.
How to remove a request
Automated reviews for articles that have been closed or archived should be left on this page to keep the links organized.
How to get updated suggestions
A message can be left at
here or
here requesting an updated automated review, or you can install the script yourself by following instructions at

- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at
Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on
WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.

infobox for this article. For example, see
Template:Infobox Biography,
Template:Infobox School, or
Template:Infobox City.
[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
- If this article is about a person, please add
{{persondata|PLEASE SEE [[WP:PDATA]]!}}
along with the required parameters to the article - see

- Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]

- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at
Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on
WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
[?]
- Per
Wikipedia:Context and
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide
context for the article.
[?]
- This article has no

free use images that fall under the
Wikipedia:Image use policy and fit under one of the
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags that can be uploaded. To upload images on Wikipedia, go to
Special:Upload; to upload non-

[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
- Per
Wikipedia:Context and
Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link
January 15,
2006.
[?]
- Please reorder/rename the last few sections to follow guidelines at
Wikipedia:Guide to layout.
[?]
- Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
- While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 18 additive terms, a bit too much.
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
- Avoid using contractions like (outside of quotations): hadn't, doesn't, doesn't, doesn't.
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]

Done Changed the "Law reference" section so there were no automated subsections. Now bold text instead.
USA PATRIOT Act was the offending item. This should help the ToC some too.
Yellowdesk
- Per

Daughter pages under discussion on the article talk page.
Created: out of one section:
Dismissed U.S. attorneys summary.
Yellowdesk
Also
Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy timeline out of another section.
- This article may need to undergo
summary style, where a series of appropriate subpages are used. For example, if the article is
United States, than an appropriate subpage would be
History of the United States, such that a summary of the subpage exists on the mother article, while the subpage goes into more detail.
[?]
- Under discussion on the article's talk page. See above table of contents items about moving sections out into new articles. Part of the reason for doing the peer review: soliciting advice on breaking up the page.
Yellowdesk
- Avoid using contractions like (outside of quotations): Won't, Didn't, didn't, don't, can't, doesn't.
- As done in

- Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at
Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on
WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.
[?]
- This article has no
images. Please see if there are any
free use images that fall under the
Wikipedia:Image use policy and fit under one of the
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags that can be uploaded. To upload images on Wikipedia, go to
Special:Upload; to upload non-

Wikimedia Commons, go to
commons:special:upload.
[?]
- See if possible if there is a
free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article.
[?]
- There may be an applicable
infobox for this article. For example, see
Template:Infobox Biography,
Template:Infobox School, or
Template:Infobox City.
[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
- If this article is about a person, please add
{{persondata|PLEASE SEE [[WP:PDATA]]!}}
along with the required parameters to the article - see
Wikipedia:Persondata for more information.
[?]
- This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as
WP:WIAFA critera 1(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.
[?]
- As done in
WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the
CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]

- Watch for
redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's
redundancy exercises.)
- While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 33 additive terms, a bit too much.
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
